Thid Week August 4, 2015

Dear Folks,

Can you believe it is August already?  The summer is flying!

Just a reminder that Karen Boroski, our Office Manager, is on vacation until August 12.

We are down to 4 more Wednesday night Concerts on the Green.  The Men's Group are selling hot dogs and the Vitality Team is giving out free water and providing a free chance at a gift card.  Thank you to all who donated the $25 gift cards.  Your generosity is a blessing!  We could use more water, so if anyone would like to donate water, please bring it to church and mark it for the Vitality Team or Concerts on the Green.  Whatever water we have left over we will use for the Car Show on August 30.  More info about that later.  This Wednesday's offerings include a children's program at 6 P.M. with "Lynn Lewis and Friends" and the band "Mia & The Riff" at 7 P.M.

My prayer day is this Thursday, August 6.  If you have any joys or concerns you would like me to raise up, please let me know.

I will be performing the wedding of our member Eric Gerhard and his fiancee, Daniela Castiglia this Friday.  Blessings on them!

This Sunday, we will be celebrating the baptism of two little girls, Nora Jean Armstrong and Gracie Lynn Cook.  The scripture lesson is Ephesians 4:1-16.  The sermon is "Many in One".

The Third Annual Bruce E. Hartel Memorial Car Show will be held on Sunday, August 30, 12 P.M. to 4 P.M. in the church parking lot. How can you help?

Let us pray.  We know your presence is always with us, O God.  Help us to know it, to feel it, and to claim it.  No matter what we face, we never face it alone.  Thank you, O God!  Amen.

In Christ's love,

Rev Lucille
